The PowderPuff Girl Question, N° 8...

Nail color on your toes in winter?

I know, I know, most of us have now put our feet in hibernation for it seems that as soon as we have to start wearing socks we give up on them!

This year I've decided to try to keep my feet in good shape and this will include not only a weekly pampering session but nail color! ... We'll see how long I keep it up! :)

For the past month I'd been wearing Dior Massaï, a beautiful darkish red and I almost went with it again last night but then I stopped myself and texted Mr J! I was curious to see if he would have an opinion and I gave him three options: Dior Massaï #853, Chanel Taboo #583 and Essie Cashmere Bathrobe! Ok so I didn't give him the names for they would have meant nothing to him. I simply wrote: dark red, dark purple (although I did mention it was called Taboo to see if he would bite) and dark grey. To my surprise he answered dark grey, the one I least expected.

Toe nails now have Cashmere Bathrobe on! Do excuse the quality of the picture, the sun has been a no show for a while and this is poor indoor lighting. In real life they all are a smidgen darker.

Oh and Mr J did thank me for asking! How sweet is that?

So, do you keep on pampering your feet in winter and if you do apply color, how do you go about in choosing which one it will be?

Haha so I'm the type that leave my feet alone in winter. I keep my toe nails clean and short, but that's about it! I think it's nice to let them breathe for half of a year. In fact I'm just too lazy. Does Taboo also stain your nails? I love that shade, but even with a base coat, it stains!

Oh Sunny, Taboo is the worst! Well I must say that Dior Massaï was also pretty bad! I'll probably go bare too I guess around January/February just to let them breathe too. :)

I've never tried dark grey on toes before! I try to do pedicures in the cold season too but lately I've been super lazy.

Oh Monika, Cashmere Bathrobe surprises me, I didn't think I'd like it but it's real nice on toes. Don't worry about it, lazy's good! :)

Hey Gio, lazy's good in winter. I guess I want to see if I'll be dilligent with colors, except for a month or so to let the nails breathe a bit. :)

I always have nail polish on my toes.. I live in southern California .. so .. I'm still able to wear sandals. I have on an OPI brownish color and .. meh, looks great in the bottle, but the color is just not lovable.

Monica.

I always have a pedicure because it's so cheap in Dubai-I don't remember the last time I painted my own nails. But I have strict colour rules. Spring/Summer-pink/coral Autumn/Winter-berry/red NEVER blue or green and rarely purple. I can't explain why, it's just me!

I love your choices Stacey although I do love Chanel Taboo on my toes, better than on my fingers. :)

Hello Helene,

Winter time is relaxation time when it comes to my tootsies. They are cut and filed and that's about it :) However, if I had to choose, Giorgio Armani 701 Bleu D'Armani would be my pick :)

I'm so glad to hear you and Mr. J are doing well. I love "seeing" people happy.

Awww Maria, than you so much for the sentiment!

At the moment I'm enjoying the dark side but will likely go naked or light at one point. For some reason I haven't been able to go blue yet. Gorgeous color but I just dunno! :)

The Chanel Taboo looks gorgeous! I need to see that in person. I wear polish on my toes all year round. I couldn't imagine not. Glad things are going well with Mr. J

I do still pamper my feet in winter as in: I give myself a bi-weekly at-home footbath and pedicure. But I don't paint my nails. I don't even do that in summer. I have frighteningly big toes so I try to draw as little attention to them as possible.
